This is definitely not the tone you want to set before firing a bunch of people on your team! This boss had the audacity to send a team-wide message to boost everyone's morale by including the overused colloquial statement, “just remember that in da clurrb, we all fam.” Yes, it was written that exact way, and no, this message did not get the intended reaction from its audience. Instead, this toxic boss's employees responded with confusion, frustration, and eye-rolls about how outdated and despe…

Everyone remembers their first real job, the place that kickstarted their career and made them who they are today. And since everyone remembers that experience, no matter how much time passed, it shouldn't be hard to be nice to those who are just starting out. If every boss would recall their first week at their job, they would remember how stressful it is to prove themselves, and they would remember how important it is to have the right guidance, to have someone who can train you and help you…

There's something universally awkward about office parties—whether it's the forced mingling, the questionable food choices, or that one coworker who takes "open bar" a little too literally. Most of us just try to blend into the crowd, avoid making eye contact with our managers, and hope the night ends without too many cringe-worthy moments. But for one unfortunate team, a party to celebrate an employee's resignation was nothing more than a "social experiment."

In case you've never considered it before, yes, you can get fired at your job orientation . It probably makes things easier for the hiring team. Why bother hiring a person who can't even make it through the first few days of the gig? Some people get hired at a job , but they make it clear from day one that they're just utterly uninterested in doing work for even a minute. One guy chose to only work from 10 AM-12 PM each day, which is iconic of him, and I wish him all the best. Another woman bec…

Getting to do what you always wanted to, ever since you were a little kid, is something very few people can claim they achieved. Think about it, how many people do you know who can actually say they work in their 'dream job'? If one does manage to work in their dream job, they might have to work extra hard to keep a firm hand on it. You never know when will be the day your boss might get tired of you, and losing a job you actually love is a lot harder than losing a job you couldn't care less ab…

Nothing is more satisfying than using the knowledge you worked so hard to gain for something that gives you joy. And you may call us petty, but sometimes that joy comes from revenge on someone who truly deserves it. Working in anything related to computer science is as good as having a superpower, you can use your knowledge to do just about anything. The employee in this Reddit story proved that with just one code line, you can really mess with someone's life, and OP (original poster) gained a…

One manager is finding out the hard way that they were too hasty in firing a few of their teenage employees. Next, check out some terrible birthday presents that people shared that made them shake their heads, like one person who “got a check… for $5. It bounced and cost me $10.”

Picture this–You arrive at work on a random weekday, fully believing you are going to have a great day. Your boss is so pleased with your department's work that they have been promising for months to expand your team, going as far as showing you building plans for your new office. But then, management and HR gather your entire team, all 18 employees, and tell all of you that you are being laid off, essentially disassembling the entire team. They then leave with a big smile on their faces, and y…

"They ended with 11 new complaints over the course of a week (not even counting the ones from years past from past employees who also left because of him)."

The anecdotes about this telemarketer have made it crystal clear that he's the problem. His form of petty revenge after he got let go only further proves that he's got a twisted mind. Creative, mind you, but twisted nonetheless. The Redditor who recounted this story begins with some background information about how as a teenager, he blamed his girlfriend for having a bathroom accident in his parents' vacation home… and that's not where bathroom accidents end in this story. Of course, it shows e…

Those of us who had the misfortune of working a minimum wage job in retail or at a restaurant know how much those places of work try to take advantage of their employees. Usually, it comes in the form of attempting to get employees to work more for less money, which 90% of the time is not even legal. That is why anyone who even considers working in a place like that should be really careful and look after themselves. Luckily, the employee in this Reddit story managed to recognize the red flags…

"I'm being encouraged by management to 'reflect on my life to figure out where it all went wrong'..."

No one wants to get booted from their job unexpectedly, but these people had some pretty embarrassing reasons for losing their jobs ! Have you ever had one of those friends who will tell you the wildest story you've ever heard, and then expect you to take their side even though they're clearly wrong? A lot of these people are just like that, displaying the most unhinged behaviors at work, and then expecting their bosses and coworkers to side with them. I know those HR PowerPoint sessions about…

"They fired me over email, while I was on vacation. I just can’t understand how people can treat someone like that."

Is it really even petty revenge when you revoke your recently ex-employers' access to your personal software that you paid for and were only using for your work out of goodwill? At that point, you're just reclaiming what was rightfully yours, to begin with, and since the company had been effectively leasing your software license, you might as well go ahead and send them a bill for however long they had been using it, too . It's not your fault if they can't properly invest in the resources neede…

We've all wondered what kinds of shady things might go down behind the scenes at big companies—unethical practices, sneaky overcharges, or even just the questionable ways they treat their employees. But unless you're an insider, you rarely get the full scoop. Until now. Recently, someone on Reddit posed the question: "People who are no longer bound by NDAs, what juicy secrets can you expose?" And these ex-employees did not hold back . Over 6.4k people chimed in, sharing some of the most juicy i…
